There are many different types of items in Fallout 76 that benefit your character as they travel across the wastelands of Appalachia. While you may be familiar with Stimpaks, the normal healing item, and the various drugs, you may not be familiar with Bobbleheads. These items are rare to find and are hidden across Appalachia in areas you wouldn’t normally look. Can you find the whole lot of them?

What are Bobbleheads and where do they spawn?

Introduced back in Fallout 3, Bobbleheads are an item that you can use to gain a temporary buff. Depending on which Bobbleheads you find, you will gain different buffs. There is a different Bobblehead for each aspect of your character. For example, the Small Guns Bobblehead increases the damage you deal with small guns by 20% for one hour. Once the benefit wears off, the Bobblehead is consumed and you will need to find it again to regain the benefit.

Bobbleheads can spawn in almost any area around Appalachia. Some of the best places to search for them are:

  • Wavy Willard’s Water Park On a shelf in the maintenance shed by the poolOn a shield in an open locker in the locker area by the poolOn a table in the mouth of the alligator on the water slideTyler County FairgroundsOn the shelf in front of the large Nuka-Cola standOn a token machine by the basketball gameOn a table inside the metal shedAlpine River CabinsUnder the beds in the southernmost cabinUnder the beds in the southeasternmost cabinAround the fire pit in the center of the area

Those are just some of the various areas you can find Bobbleheads across Appalachia. Keep your eyes peeled. Each Bobblehead features the Vault Boy wearing a Vault 76 jumpsuit.
